The best time to sterilize a male dog is before the first estrus, so as to prevent the dog from forming a permanent memory of the enclosure behavior during estrus. Small dogs age around 6 months to 8 months for surgery. The growth of large dogs is relatively slow, and it is recommended to have surgery at about 1 year old. However, if the dog has passed the optimal age for sterilization, it is recommended to do it as soon as possible, because the older the dog, the higher the relative risk of anesthesia, and the postoperative recovery will be relatively slower.

Precautions for dog neutering surgery:

1. Before the dog is sterilized, it needs to be vaccinated, the antibody level is checked well, and the liver, kidney and heart are checked in the pet hospital. The operation can only be performed after all the indicators are normal.

2. Be careful not to feed before the operation. 12 hours before the operation, it is not allowed to feed the dog food and drink water. Feeding will affect the anesthesia during the operation, which may cause the gastrointestinal motility to stop, flatulence and even more terrible consequences.

3. After neutering, you must wear an Elizabeth ring to prevent the dog from licking and biting the wound and causing wound infection.
